Browner, who was on the field next to Butler when he made his iconic interception, posted a series of Instagram messages during the game defending the Patriots cornerback and blasting Belichick, who called the benching a coach’s decision.

“Lost the game for us tonight,” Browner wrote under a photo of the Patriots coach. “Stupid decision and makes no sense. You make the decision to give us the best chance to win. But u don’t play your best cornerback.”

“A locker room was divided pre game,” he wrote in another post.
